A platform can contain multiple domains, supporting different operating systems and targeting different processors. The Vitis tool supports Linux, FreeRTOS, and Standalone (or Baremetal).

   Note: To create a Platform component refer to Creating a Platform Component from XSA.
2. Click the + button to Add Domain.
   
3. Specify the Name and Display name.
4. For the OS select Linux, FreeRTOS, Standalone.
5. Select from the available Processors. The selection of Processor changes based on the selected OS.
6. Click OK to add the domain to the Platform.

For a FreeRTOS and Standalone domains a Board Support Package (or BSP) is created for the domain. You can specify the libraries to include in the BSP.

For a Linux domain you can configure additional details of the Linux domain by selecting the new domain in the platform. The Boot Components Directory must contain all the components required by the BIF. PetaLinux can generate these components.
